Karen Lloyd was known for her love of coffee and was a big fan of the high street chain.

So when 51-year-old passed away her family commissioned a coffin in Costa's trademark burgundy colour .

It had with the brand's logo plastered down the side along with the words: “One shot, extra hot skinny latte”.

The coffin was carried into the church to the sound of 'More than a Woman' and, following the service, carried out to 'Viva Las Vegas'.

Karen’s husband told how her friends nicknamed her 'Costa Karen' - but he called her 'Costa Lot'.

Alan said: "She was first class, so friendly and happy, I couldn't have asked for a better wife. "She was nicknamed Costa Karen, although I called her Costa Lot!

"The funeral was a celebration of her life and it is good to do it on a humourous side. "When we asked the funeral directors for a Costa Coffee-themed coffin, they said 'you what? We've never done one of those before'".
